My boyfriend made reservations for a date night and it’s probably one of my favorite dates ever. You feel the coziness as soon as you walk in and the hostess was very friendly and greeted us with a smile, we felt very welcome! It is beautiful inside with a great view of their famous grill but we were sat in a little more quiet/intimate area in the back which we loved. They were busy and still very attentive and the noise level just felt like background noise, it’s nice to be able to talk without shouting.

Our server Sage (if I remember correctly) went above and beyond with recommendations and answering any questions we had as well as giving us information about the place and their imported cheese — which by the way, GET THE SPAGHETTI that he recommended as an appetizer to share since it’s very rich, he wasn’t wrong! Had I ordered that as a meal I would’ve loved it regardless but it’s much better as an appetizer to then have room for the steak :) we ordered the Wagyu (to share, it’s 40oz) and it is hands down my favorite steak I’ve EVER had. We ordered medium rare and that’s exactly how it came out with a crispy outer layer. Every bite was full of flavor and the quality of the steak was well worth the price. We finished off with the Pistachio cake and absolutely loved it! For the drinks I got the Cinnamon Apple Martini and I cannot believe I’ve gone this long without trying such a good cocktail, it wasn’t overbearingly sweet and almost had the consistency of apple sauce but not as thick, just the perfect amount and they are pretty generous with the alcohol too. My boyfriend got the Velvet Fig which he really liked as well, he loves a sweet drink!

Everything was delicious and tasted authentic & fresh. Thank you for making this date very special, we hope to come back again soon! Thank you Sage for the AMAZING service

My boyfriend and I celebrate our anniversary here every year, and it is never short of amazing. The food is pure Italian—everything tastes so fresh, and I’ve never had a single complaint about a dish. The service is absolutely outstanding! They remember us every year and always make our anniversary feel extra special. From the moment you walk in the door to the table service and even the manager checking in, everything is handled with such care and warmth.
The eggplant appetizer is honestly better than anything I’ve had in Italy (and I’m serious about that) the cheese wheel pasta is my absolute favorite. It’s definitely on the pricier side for a couple, but it’s so worth it which is why we save it for special occasions.
Would highly recommend just make sure you’re ready to splurge a little

Filippo was amazing and helped make my anniversary so special. He’s a talented waiter and he made the experience unforgettable. I can’t wait to come back because of the food, the experience, and the attentive staff. This restaurant is a must!

Thank you Lana and staff for an amazing experience on Easter. Be prepared—this is not your average restaurant. Everything is prepared with great care, the quality, flavor and presentation of the food is, in my opinion, the best in all of Long Island. I say that with full confidence.

We had wine, mussels, dry aged ribeye steak (the best), eggplant parmigiana, and the cheese wheel pasta of course. Amongst other things, the lemon cake was my favorite dessert.

It was our first time there and we can’t wait to go back.

A group of us went to celebrate some birthdays. Charles was our server and was absolutely amazing! It was our first time there. He gave us the history of the restaurant and gave us the specials of the night. We had the tuna steak as well as a few appetizers and drinks. Everything was delicious! We went during the week and it was still a nice crowd there. The ambiance was nice. Definitely recommend for a special night out. Our favorite was the pasta wheel!
